The New York Employee Confidence Index rebounded in August, rising 9.7 points, according to the latest poll conducted by Harris Interactive of Rochester on behalf of Spherion Corp.
In the past month — and before Wall Street floundered — more workers expressed confidence in their ability to find a new job, as well as in the number of jobs available. In addition, workers said they were more positive about the future of their current employer.
The monthly survey noted:
• 17 percent of workers believe that there are more jobs available, an increase of 11 percentage points from July;
• more than half of those surveyed (52 percent) reported confidence in their ability to find a new job, a 5-percentage-point increase from the previous month;
• 68 percent of workers are confident in the future of their current employer, an increase of 13 percentage points from July.
